Something I noticed this week that made me laugh and sigh...at the same time...
There are major roadworks in the area I live....they have been ongoing for over a year and will hopefully be finished sometime this year...
On Saturday there was a sign stating "Expect long delays", preceding a "Detour" sign. I couldn't believe how many cars ignored the Detour sign and got stuck in the warned 'long delays'!!! There had also been signs up all week suggesting this.
We took the detour, knowing it would be much quicker, even if it was longer....and halfway through, I could see the cars in the far distance, all banked up with nowhere to go....because they ignored the signs!
Needless to say, we were not at all delayed, and went on our merry way... we've lived here long enough to know better :)
Got me thinking....how many times in life do people ignore the warnings....and get caught up in the mess, because they ignored the warnings and the suggested way out/through/over/under....
How many times in life do we suffer the consequences of our own actions....when we should have known better.... when the way to avoid the mess was clearly in front of us, but we chose to ignore it...
Something to think about today;)
